Misalignment between the brain’s and liver’s circadian clocks, connected by the HVAN, leads to disordered eating and weight ...

However, when researchers severed the communication line between the liver and the brain (via a nerve called the hepatic vagal afferent nerve or HVAN), this overeating behavior was reduced, showing ...

Disruptions between the brain's master circadian clock and the liver's internal clock, communicated via the hepatic afferent ...

This study uncovers the hepatic vagal nerve's influence on circadian food intake, presenting new avenues for obesity treatment through targeted interventions.

A new study highlights how signals from the liver to the brain influence eating patterns tied to our circadian rhythms.

Disruptions between the brain's master circadian clock and the liver's internal clock, communicated via the hepatic afferent vagal nerve (HVAN), can lead to unhealthy eating patterns and increased ...

Correcting the misconceptions that our values are disparate and uncompromising is the first step to combat afferent ...

Disruptions between the brain’s master circadian clock and the liver’s internal clock, communicated via the hepatic afferent vagal nerve (HVAN), can lead to unhealthy eating patterns and increased ...

"We have managed to isolate the activity of individual vagal neurons and identified those that are responsible for either informing the brain about cardiovascular function (afferent neurons) or ...

Loss of vision or, in the case of an unconscious patient, a relative afferent pupillary deficit representing TON may be the only evidence of ocular pathology. The clinician must reconcile a ...
